Rain provides the backdrop for today's observation. As we were enjoying a quiet, restful Sunday afternoon, David whispered for me to look out the window. A round-bellied bird sat on a banana leaf sheltered from the rain by the huge banana leaf above. Our feathered friend gave a gentle reminder of how much more Our Father takes care of us, shelters us from the storms--not takes them away but provides us a safe place with Him. We've celebrated His peace during several storms this year--from student migration to family illness, from bus transmission/motor failure to personal surgery. Storms arrived and passed, and He has been faithful as always to provide finances, parts, healing, peace through His presence and provision. You've provided desks, and we believe will provide the computers that we need for our expansion in 2020 as we accept 60 new 7th grade students instead of our typical 42. Thank YOU for helping us "weather the storms". As we approach the close of another successful, productive school year, please join us in praying for the seniors as they graduate next month, for us as we raise funds and seek 60 new sponsors, and for rest and safety for teachers, students, and families during the two-month vacation.
